Ever wonder how the #tidyverse came to be? 🤔 #TheTestSet 's first episode features @hadleywickham on his accidental empire of #RStats packages, bear encounters, and more!

Bleeding edge update for the #tidyverse purrr package. We've been working to make #rstats parallel maps even more seamless.

Introducing our shiniest new adverb: `in_parallel()`. Just wrap your function with it to take advantage of blazing fast parallel processing via mirai.

Utilise multiple cores on your own machine or distribute workloads across the network.

Please help us by testing it out! Install the pkg dev version via:

pak::pak("tidyverse/purrr")

Working on feeling more comfortable with Python. Figured out how to install Python and start a project with `uv`, which seems like the thing to learn. Going through the `polars` "getting started" now, which also seems like a good place to start coming from a strong #tidyverse background.

I'll take recommendations for an #rstats expert trying to get more comfortable with #Python !

New instance, updated #introduction:

Hi, everyone! :blobcat_box:

I'm Willa. I work as a med historian and pharmacy assistant at a hospital, but I almost never post about that. I do post a lot of nature pictures, often fungi or insects. I have a degree in #mathematics which I currently only use recreationally. I'm #transgender, #neurodivergent, #GenX, and #SociallyAwkward. Interests include #Minecraft, #nature, #RProgramming, #tidyverse, #hiking, #IndianFood, #VegetarianCooking, #science, #SciFi, and #cats. I make quirky #music that you can listen to on Bandcamp (#electronica, #indietronica, #hyperpop, #ElectronicClassical).

When I worked with complex survey data, I always wanted a clear start-to-finish guide in #RStats with #tidyverse syntax. Thanks to Stephanie A. Zimmer and Rebecca J. Powell, it’s finally here! ❤️

Is there a good modern way of getting #rstats working on Android, in the #termux environment, in order to run scripts? I'd like to have the #tidyverse on my phone.

All I see points to one person named its-pointless who set up a package repository five years ago, but I'm hoping for something more current and reliable.

Python and Ruby are available as packages. Has anyone here tried it?

I love the #tidyverse syntax in #rstats as it is easy to comprehend
also by non-programmers!

Often, even without explanation the #tidyverse code is understandable
by everyone in the meeting:

iris %>%
filter(Sepal.Length == 5.1,
Petal.Width == 1.1) %>%
select(starts_with("S"),
contains("Width"))

BUT, when at that point I am told, that this value needs to be
corrected to 2.8, I can't use this syntax and need to rewrite.

How do people deal with this?

Seems like it's time for a new #introduction! I've just started a postdoc with Colin Olito and Bengt Hansson at #LundUniversity. I'll be working with #SexChromosome #evolution in Wikstroemia, doing #genomics, #GenomeAnnotation, and other #bioinformatics things related to that. I'm an avid #tidyverse and #RStats user, but with a ton of #python background. I did my PhD on #oat genomics with #ScanOats. I'm really into #visualization, and I want to learn more about statistical modelling.

Hey #rstats teachers - any thoughts on whether to teach

group_by |> summarize

or the new

summarize(..., .by =)

I suspect that .by will be easier for novices but also doesn't generalize well outside of #tidyverse since you have to group separately in SQL, #Python, etc.
